Very Good. Wow! What a colour! Glass is dull all over and has scattered scuffs and scratches but not too many deeper looking marks. Slightly deeper 8 mm scratch running along rear shoulder and a deeper 7 mm scratch running along the front base edge. A few little impacts around the shoulder and to the lip, extremely shallow 3 x 1 mm flake to the top of the side lip. Another shallow flake at the front base down from the end of the word Sydney measuring 4 x 2 mm. Also around the crude edge of the base are some very small nibbles and marks. Inside the bottle is hazy. Some manufacturing splits on the inner neck where the top was applied. Just wiped the front with a damp cloth and the bottle really shines. Wonderful little bottle in this dark cobalt blue colour. Grade: 7.55 Estimate: $1250 - 1500
